[Dante Lavelli]

Eamonn, that is a brilliant synopsis of that season....I'd love to read your thoughts on each season since then!!

...but with paragraphs.

Tá fáilte romhat. Had to double-check a couple of things on soccerbase but remembered most of the stuff fairly well. I'd struggle a bit with the following year and O'Leary's second season, '04/'05.

From the early 90's onwards, like yourself I imagine, my memory of where I was/what I was doing on a particular date is guided completely by recalling Villa's game on that particular day.

Go raibh maith agat. It sure is, as may have been revealed by that off topic post I made back in April! However, I am a bit sketchy after 2001, until 2003. They were my teenage angst years!

I'm hoping that I  will simply forget last season though....However, I have a feeling it will be one of the seasons I will recall most vividly. Particularly the night I came back to my place from a date and started obsessing about how bad we were at Old Trafford.

Its funny because I always see a heavy defeat at man u as a catalyst for a great run seeing as it happened once in either 04-05 or 05-06. O'leary's first  season. we were humped 4-0 (maybe 1 but i think 0) and we were bottom 3. I thought we were doomed and then went on a run up to 6th.

Two goals each from RVN & Forlan (I think so).

Barry got one back in the traditional FA Cup 3rd round only for cheeky Scholes to score his share of two goals.

Well, if you think Gregory's admission that Stan Collymore was the most talented player he ever worked with was a surprise, what about this!

Well that's a surprise.

Unfortunate with the difficulties SVC had, with more stable time and maybe better understanding about his depression he could've been great player for us.

Ok it's not maybe the modern way of thinking but Collymore can feck right off as far as i'm concerned. Every time he mentions "My beloved Aston Villa" I think back to seeing him stroll around the pitch not giving a shit. Gregory did well getting £250k for that waste of space.

I agree and I'm unconvinced he suffered depression for all of the time he was at Villa. We should have got shot of him in Summer 98 - there would have been some mugs who would have given us 3-4m, at the time.

Anyone who beats up women doesn't get a grain of respect from me.
